Fang Yiai's eyes were full of suspicion, and she asked, "Why don't you tell me directly? Why do you want a guy wearing a mask to tell me?"
After getting along for a few days, Fang Yiai was already dissatisfied with Dugujiu. This guy always wore a mask and had no idea what he looked like. The most annoying thing was that he always stood in front of Li Mu intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes Fang Yiai
Even if he wanted to say a few words to Li Mu, he would interfere with her, just like a woman guarding her husband from cheating on her, which made Fang Yihai untroubled.
Dugujiu noticed Fang Yiai's thoughts, but he didn't care at all. Because Fang Yiai was too weak. In Dugujiu's heart, Li Mu had a very special position, and he could not accept some ordinary people becoming Li Mu's brothers.
Now among Li Mu's three brothers, Dugujiu only recognizes Li Chongyi. Firstly, the two have been in contact for a long time. Furthermore, Li Chongyi's strength has also been recognized by Dugujiu. The two often sparred and fought against each other. Although Dugujiu was more agile than
Li Chongyi was a hundred times stronger, but he felt that he was not Li Chongyi's opponent. No matter how agile he was, he would miss sometimes, and Li Chongyi's attack would kill him with just one attack. Unless it was an assassination, he would have no chance of winning in a fight between the two.
As for Li Siwen, in Dugujiu's heart, he had no idea how he got the identity of "Li Mu's brother". But he and Li Mu had known each other since Weimo, and Dugujiu had no choice but to accept it if he didn't want to.
However, the people after the three of them were like little dandies like Fang Yiai. Dugujiu did not pay attention to them at all, and it was impossible for them to get the title of "Li Mu's brothers".
Dugujiu held his sword, took a step forward, stared into Fang Yiai's eyes, and said coldly: "Brother, you are not called casually. You, Fang Yiai, are not qualified yet. Your father asked you to come to eldest brother because he is here.
You are looking for a future. A person whose future depends on the honor of his parents, what qualifications do you have to call me big brother?"
Fang Yiai's face was red, but she pursed her lips and couldn't say a word. As a "second generation", she had two polar thoughts about relying on her parents. One was happy and proud. The other
Fang Yiai is like this. He doesn't want to be overshadowed by his father's glory, so he hates being mentioned by others.
Dugujiu's words were like piercing his heart.
The corner of Dugujiu's mouth curled up slightly. Although Fang Yiai couldn't see it through the mask, he could clearly feel the contempt coming from Dugujiu.
"Your urban management brigade is temporarily under the command of Jinyiwei. The commander of Jinyiwei is called Li Chongyi. He went to the Zhenla Kingdom to handle affairs. I, Dugujiu, am the envoy of Jinyiwei Town. You are my subordinate, so I am responsible for this matter.
Let’s make arrangements. Do you have any questions?”
Fang Yiai pursed her lips and said, "No more, Zhen Fu Envoy."
"Let's do it. What the elder brother means is to give priority to those with strong backgrounds, that is, those with high positions in the family. Then from these people, we will select those with better skills, tentatively 32 people. Temperament and temperament don't matter, listen.
It doesn't matter if he disobeys me. When I get to Jinyiwei, I can change him."
The last words were gentle and calm, but Fang Yiai felt a hint of coldness.
Change, how to change? They are all dandy young men in Chang'an City, who are used to living and drinking, how can they change? But when he thought of Changsun Chong's change, he couldn't help but believe it. Changsun Chong was considered the best among the dandies in Chang'an City. He and Qin Huaidao
He is two years younger than Chang Sun Chong, and he is almost equal to a child in front of Chang Sun Chong. But Chang Sun Chong now treats Li Mu with respect, even though he is of the same generation, he calls himself his mentor. This shows what a terrible person Li Mu is.
As for the guy wearing a mask in front of him, it can be imagined that he is not a simple figure.
But how did someone like Li Siwen become Li Mu's brother? Even if he proposed marriage, he could still get ten thousand taels of gold as a gift from Li Mu. Why was that? What ability did he have?
Fang Yiai really wanted to ask, but when the words came to her lips, she still didn't dare. She hugged her fists, turned around and left to do her business.
Dugujiu turned around and looked at the arena in front of him, his eyes flashing with eagerness to try.
Li Mu knew that Dugu Jiu liked to compete with others. Although he practiced his swordsmanship by himself, his ability to fight with others was developed by his father, Dugu Xiude, who invited all the heroes from Heshuo to his home and taught him tricks.
.
Martial arts, without actual combat, will always be just a show. Although Li Chongyi has natural supernatural power, his current strength was only formed in his heart after he experienced sparring with Dugujiu and saw what a "fast" master is like.
a scale.
Therefore, fighting with masters is always the fastest way for martial arts practitioners to improve. Even if you don't end up playing, you can still benefit a lot from watching people fight.
Li Mu held this arena competition specifically for Dugu Jiu. The reason why Dugu Jiu felt excited was not this. The reason he was excited and moved was that Li Mu did this without telling him in advance that this was
What does it mean? It means that in Li Mu’s heart, he, Dugu Jiu, has a place!
But this is entirely due to Dugujiu's own sentimentality. Li Mu held this arena entirely because Li Chongyi took away all the Jin Yiwei and he had no one left under his command. He just wanted to select some skilled people to do things for him.
Originally, he planned to set up factory guards to deal with what he felt was Li Shimin's surveillance hiding in the dark. But he later changed his mind because he was worried that Li Shimin would notice his intentions. Just imagine, the emperor wanted to monitor
You, and you resisted, what would the emperor think?
So, Li Mu made some changes. He gave the "factory guard" to Eunuch Gao, because after analysis, he felt that the surveillance force under Li Shimin was not led by Eunuch Gao, but by someone else.
As Li Shimin's confidant, Eunuch Gao did not have "Li Shimin's eyes". Will Eunuch Gao feel balanced in his heart?
From the perspective of human nature, it is naturally impossible to balance. So, Li Mu gave him a "factory guard". The unknown force did the first year of junior high school, and he supported Eunuch Gao to do the fifteenth year, and he became the right eye.
The side should be the left eye. In this way, it will be balanced.
And Li Mu's gift of such a big gift was certainly not for nothing. Eunuch Gao is a smart man, so he naturally knows how to repay this favor.
Li Mu also found it quite interesting that things had come to this point. After going round and round, the factory guard still asked the eunuch to do it. It seems that many things are really the way they should be and cannot be changed by human power.
He doesn't need to worry about the manpower of the factory guards. Eunuch Gao has so many godsons who are all very skilled. They can only do errands in the palace. Why don't you want to be happy to kill them when you come out to work as factory guards?
Therefore, this arena competition is just for recruiting rangers to join the Imperial Guard.
There is another purpose that cannot be stated, that is, he wants to inquire about the Qiubeard Guest through the rangers from all over the world. After all, only the Qiubeard Guest knows about his body's life experience.
In fact, Li Mu personally doesn't care much about his life experience. His soul comes from the past life and traveled through time. In his previous life, he was an orphan and had no life experience, so it didn't matter. But since he knew that he was not Sun's biological child,
Somehow, I have been unable to let go of this matter, and there is a longing to know my life experience from the bottom of my heart.
Perhaps, it can only be explained by the memory of cells.
Li Mu didn't want to fight this idea, because he felt that even the dead Li Mu had the right to know where he came from. He was an orphan and understood this desire.
Therefore, even if he didn't do it deliberately, he still wanted to explore the answer to this question within his ability. As for whether he would know in the end, he would just leave it to fate.
…
Tai Chi Palace.
"Father!!"
Li Shimin was playing chess with Queen Changsun, and Xiao Li Zhi next to him was sleeping soundly. Suddenly he heard this deafening sound of "Father", and Li Shimin was so frightened that all his chess pieces fell off the chessboard. Xiao Li Zhi woke up and cried loudly.
Empress Changsun didn't care about the chessboard anymore and quickly picked up the child to comfort her.
Li Shimin recognized Li Tai's voice and was displeased. How could the gentle Qing Que become so rude?
At this moment, Li Tai's chubby body had already barged in, his face flushed with excitement, holding a picture scroll in his hand. Li Shimin frowned even more when he saw him running these few steps, and thought to himself, my son is indeed
It’s because I’ve gained some weight that it’s so difficult to run even a few steps.
His displeasure turned into worry, and he hurriedly said: "Slow down, why is it so urgent? Don't fall."
Li Tai came to the door and saw Li Zhi crying, so he quickly apologized: "Father, Emperor, and Queen, I didn't know that my mother and queen were here, so I was reckless. Please forgive me, Father, Queen, and Queen."
"It doesn't matter." Empress Changsun had coaxed Li Zhi to stop crying, and said to Li Tai: "Why are you so panicked? What are you holding in your hand?"
"It's eldest brother, ah, no, it's the map drawn by my mentor." Li Mu has made an agreement with Li Tai. Normally, they can call each other brothers, but when "preaching and receiving vocations", he must call him master. The map is undoubtedly "preaching".
Therefore, Li Taicai called him his mentor.
"Is it Li Mu again?" Li Shimin was stunned. He threw away the chess piece in his hand and said, "What good thing did he do again?"
"Father, look!" Li Tai unfolded the map. Li Shimin and Queen Changsun were instantly attracted to their eyes. Li Shimin trembled: "This is... a map?"
"Exactly! It's the map drawn by my teacher. It's a hundred times more accurate than the map drawn by the child! Father, you see, it not only shows the prefectures and counties, but also the locations and lengths of mountains, rivers, and cities. It's so accurate.
Only a master can draw a map!"
"Hiss..." Li Shimin looked at it carefully for a while and took a breath of air. After leading the army for more than twenty years, Li Shimin's footprints not only traveled throughout the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but also covered at least two-thirds of the territory. He
After carefully comparing the locations of the mountains and rivers in his memory, he found that they were exactly the same as those marked on the map. This was beyond his expectation. As a general, he knew very well the value of this map!
